[QUOTE="britz, post: 264724, member: 7865"] WizardM, I don't shoot factory - I load. What I do is pick one bullet to hunt big game and one to mess around with for varmint. I came to the conclusion that My rifle likes 180 over the 165 grain (yours may or may not however). I found a load that shoots good and I used the Nosler Accubond which will preform well at all ranges. Not saying the Accubond is the shiznit, but it works for me. I found a 110g vmax that shoots ok for me with varmint hunting. You would be doing yourself a diservice if you try to switch ammo from one distance to another because your POI will shift from one load to the next. Pick whichever one shoots best in your rifle and stick with it. I'm just guessing here, but I would start with one box of 150's, one of 165's and one of 180's. See which one of those 3 shoots the best. Then I would start with that bullet weight and a couple different brands of ammo. It gets kinda expensive when you are dealing with $40+ a box. With reloading it gets spendy too. A box of 100 bullets runs anyware from 20 to 50 bucks as well. Powder is 25 or better a pound. So no matter what experimenting is spendy. But it is worth every penny! [/QUOTE]
